The man in yellow : Sun Apr 26, 2009 9:38 pm  

What was he doing on the pitch?

Not carying water, not attending to the injured. Why is this unwanted intrusion on the game allowed?

The best team on the day won, no complaints from me on that score, but as a speccie, I don't want to see coaches on the field issuing instructions during the passage of play. Very unsporting, very un-rugby league. Very poor show.

Happens every year!

Thought they could get sent off now for coming on all time and staying on, I think they could last year to what I can rember.

Wigan seem to do this more than any other team.

When my lad played in the Under 8's the coach was allowed on the pitch to coach the kids as they played - quite rightly, they are kids learing the game. However this lot are pro's and it should be stamped down on.

The men in yellow are not water carriers, they are the trainers.

They used to be allowed on the pitch at any time when their team was in possession ... that changed last season. Now, as far as I can remember, the only time they can come on during actual play is to get a player off when interchanges are being made.

They are allowed on during stoppages or when a player is injured. The physios, in orange, are allowed to go on the pitch at any time.

All he does is tell which players to come off then tell which players have changed positions. Chill.

Have to laugh at this. Sanctuary was on the pitch nearly as much as Foreshaw, diffence is Foreshaw has a clue about rugby, ....(but maybe not conditioning)
